I spent a few days in Brindisi and in that time tried out a few restaurants. I can say with certainty that O'Lucianiello has the best food in town. It's a beautiful traditional Italian restaurant with kind staff and absolutely mouth-watering pasta. My sister and I tried some of their deserts too which were also delicious. It's all at very affordable prices too! Although the menu is all in Italian, the staff were really helpful. Alex and Lucianiello helped with the translation and recommendation. If you ever find yourself in Brindisi and have time for a meal, please give this restaurant a go. It'll be worth your time. A big thank you from your friends in London, Alex & Lucianiello.

A Fantastic Dining Experience I had a really great experience at this restaurant. The food was absolutely amazing — the stuffed mussels were full of flavor, and the linguine pasta was just wow. I honestly do not think I have ever had better pasta. I also ordered crabs, which were fresh and delicious. The wine selection was impressive and paired perfectly with the meal. Service was outstanding — friendly, attentive, and made the whole evening even better. I spent 30 euros, but the portions were generous enough that I had leftovers for the next day. Easily enough food for two people, making it excellent value for the quality. Highly recommended. I will definitely be coming back!

Brindisi was my last stop in Italy and I wanted a delicious, authentic pasta before leaving. This place did not disappoint. I walked from the far end of downtown, lugging a 20kg backpack and it was well worth it. Highly recommend.

One of the best pastas I’ve ever had! Don’t waste your time at any other locations. Order their seafood pasta and find more reasons to visit Brindisi for this location alone. It’s a short walk outside of the main hub or popular straight but worth every step. Take a taxi if you’re not able to walk far or whatever it takes to get here do it. We saw no other reason to visit Brindisi after our cruise but this place is going to make us come back. Order the Cavatelli allo Scoglio, you’re welcome!
